Mara Bushtops

Mara Bushtops is the perfect getaway destination to enjoy extravagant luxury and restorative tranquillity. Some have even called it the best camp in Kenya! While some locations may simply be base camp for travellers to explore surrounding areas, Mara Bushtops is most definitely another X on the map. From the award-winning Amani Spa and secret wine cellar to the scenic game drives and the best views in Maasai Mara, Mara Bushtops has everything they could possibly need to make your stay sensational and unforgettable. It is the only camp with an ample natural salt-lick by the watering hole, right in front of the spa and restaurant. The animals can’t wait to get their turn, allowing guests some of the very best viewings of African wildlife by day and by night, featuring appearances by gazelles, warthogs, zebra and impala, topi, buffalo, elephant, giraffe, leopards and lions.

Mara Expedition Camp

Mara Expedition Camp offers a chic, nostalgic and adventurous experience. It is unique to the industry and sits perfectly with the expert hospitality, specialised guiding and design that have become signature to the Great Plains Conservation. Guests visiting here will get the best of both safari worlds – the vibrant Maasai Mara ecosystem and the more private 70,000-acre Mara North Conservancy. The core of the camp’s ethos is the learning from and respecting of nature, where the Maasai Mara itself is the teacher. Unlike some other locations, there is a higher density of predators in the area so there is a constant reminder that the wilderness is not ours and must be respected at all times.

Richard’s Camp

Richard’s River Camp was initially established as owners Richard and Liz’s “home from home” in 2006 but Richard’s family have lived in Kenya since the late 1940s and his father was involved in forming the Ol Choro Oiroua Conservancy, which was where Richard grew up from the age of 3. On her various travels, Liz has brought back beautiful fabrics and furniture to decorate the camp, really giving that personal touch that’ll make guests feel right at home. The Camp offers a luxury camp experience in the heart of the Maasai Mara. With just 7 tents, it’s a prime location for those with privacy and peace and quiet in mind. A permanent water supply is provided by the Ngoyanai springs, attracting cohorts of animals to the camp’s surroundings.

Sala’s Camp

Sala’s Camp is renowned for providing an authentic and understated safari experience, where guests will discover a perfect balance between tradition and modernity.

Sala’s Camp prides itself on its warmth and hospitality, with a phenomenal team, many of whom come from local Maasai communities and grew up in perfect harmony with the wilderness.

But what really sets Tangulia apart is that there’s neither showmanship nor spectacle, just quality game viewing and guiding and the chance to make genuine connections with your hosts.

Elewana Elsa’s Kopje Meru

Elewana Elsa’s Kopje is a timelessly elegant lodge in an equally spectacular location within the Meru National Park. The bond between the two is a special one – the National Park was popularised by George and Joy Adamson, who authored a book about their experiences rehabilitating lions; the book was made into a film entitled ‘Born Free’ starring Virginia McKenna, who became one of the lodge’s founders, and the revenue made by Elsa’s Kopje single-handedly saved the Park from quite literally disappearing off the map. Blending seamlessly into the slopes of Mughwango Hill, Elsa’s Kopje is blessed with cinematic views of the Meru plains that guests can relish from the decks of their luxury cottages. As one of only 2 lodges in the Meru Park, guests can have an exclusive safari experience among some of the most diverse wildlife practically all to themselves!

Rhino River Camp
